Hey Joe, thanks for jumping in - that's the heart of what I am wondering about.... The heavy hitters/big dollar collectors:
Scenario 1: The high grade Tosi cards aren't coming up, so collectors with high grade sets try to fill the slot with a lower grade card, thus bidding up the lower grade cards.
Scenario 2: The high grade collectors are patient enough to wait for one to come around that better fits the condition of the other cards in their set (I'd guess in grade PSA 6 or higher)
Scenario 2 always seemed more logical to me, which is why I'm puzzled to see the PSA 3 and PSA 4 cards sell so high. I would think the high grade collectors are ignoring those auctions, yet for whatever reason we consistently see PSA 3 and PSA 4 Tosi cards sell much higher than the other high numbers.
